Snapped. Snapped. Snapped.
Djokovic is shooting the ball.
Three times. Look around. Five times.
Djokovic raised his head and looked at Gao Wen. Gao Wen bent his upper body and swayed slightly. He could clearly feel that his center of gravity remained light, and he maintained a very good rhythm of starting and attacking at any time. It was obvious that he was in a very good position at this time. A good state of intense concentration.
Six times. Seven times. Eight times.
The service-winning set fell into a tie situation, and he missed two consecutive set points, which made Djokovic a little tight.
The audience couldn't help but think of Gawain's serve to win the set in the first set, which was divided eight times and lasted for more than 15 minutes. The winner was finally decided. Is it going to happen again this time?
Nine times. Ten times. Eleven o'clock.
The Arthur Ashe Stadium was completely silent, except for the sound of Djokovic's bat. It seemed like it would never stop, and it was like this until the end of time.
Fourteen times. Fifteen times.
Finally, before the audience suffocated and fainted, Djokovic was ready to serve, and threw the tennis ball high, and the mustard yellow sunk into the sun.
In the first area, a close forehand.
Moreover, this time Djokovic obviously increased the side spin, and after the landing point, he penetrated into Gao Wen's body, further squeezing Gao Wen's swing space. This is the classic close serve routine, but it broke the Djokovic has always used changes to break the balance at critical moments.
Although the ball speed is not fast, it completely squeezes Gao Wen's position. It is obvious that Djokovic uses this method to suppress Gao Wen's tactical intention of receiving the serve and attacking.
really!
Gawain was ready to attack, but he failed to complete the swing effectively. The adjustment space for the first serve was limited, and at this time, his upper body was even more squeezed and unable to move.
In the process of serving and receiving, the initiative is congenitally in the hands of the server, and there is no way to reverse this.
But this does not mean that Gawain will return the ball hastily.
Because the whole person remains mobile and active, the speed of conditioned reflex is obviously faster. When he feels the trajectory of the tennis ball flying towards the body, his upper body makes a quick decision and makes a backward and lower waist movement to make way for the space, and then swings the racket with his right hand. He quickly moved towards the tennis ball.
The little time of lightning is not enough for Gao Wen to complete the attack, but it is enough for Gao Wen to increase the quality of the return ball in the limited space.
etc!
Djokovic goes online!
Serve to the net!
The Big Four are indeed the Big Four. A tactic that has never been used in the entire game came in handy at such an important juncture! It’s not just about being bold.
Djokovic used his close serve to squeeze Gawain. After the serve, his footsteps followed the flight path of the tennis ball and moved quickly towards the net. His full-speed running action showed determination and decisiveness.
When Gao Wen realized that Djokovic was rushing forward to the net, there was actually no room for adjustment.
what to do?
At the moment when the tennis ball was about to be released, Gao Wen obviously made a lifting movement with his wrist to increase the strong top spin, and then the tennis ball flew out.
Originally, the return arc was not able to be suppressed due to the hasty return action, but now it is even more so due to the strong friction, which outlines a light parabola. But the detail is that the arc is not that high, and it is not high enough to play high-pressure balls. The level; at the same time, it is not that low, and the difficulty of volleying in front of the net increases.
Through top spin, Gao Wen forced Djokovic to complete the volley at the shoulder position. This is a very awkward position and it is difficult to achieve active power.
Then--
Djokovic pounced forward, trying to complete the draw, but found that the return arc was higher than expected, and quickly adjusted the racket surface, changing from a draw to a slice.
It can be seen from the details that Djokovic actually has a little guilty conscience. For the world No. 1, pre-net skills have always been his shortcomings, and high voltage in front of the net is the shortest of the shortcomings. Even in 2021, this technology is still the strongest of all Djokovic's skills. Instability is the most prone to mistakes.
At this time, Djokovic's handling seemed a bit cautious.
Immediately afterwards, the tennis ball pressed into a deep area in the middle and returned to Gawain's feet——
Literally, Djokovic deliberately pressed a deep ball, which landed near Gauvin's stance, so that Gauvin had to hit the rebound shot and had no time to draw the ball.
This is also a trap.
However, Gawain had no time to think at this time and quickly retreated reflexively.
This time, Gao Wen did not stubbornly stick to the baseline position. He took small steps to get out of the way and switched to the backhand position. While his footsteps were moving, he completed the backhand with both hands at the same time.
Adjustment. Adjustment!
While adjusting, he hit the ball. Although his steps were retreating, the forward movement of his backhand with both hands was very obvious. At the moment of hitting the ball, he still straightened his forearms and made a straight-arm push forward. He glanced at Djokovic from the corner of his eyes. Kovic's stance, then glanced his wrist in the direction of the backslash.
The balance of the entire body's movements was completely torn and disrupted, and the movements of the lower body and upper body were separated. However, Gao Wen's attention remained incredibly concentrated. The moment he was about to release the ball, he continued to increase the speed of his racket head. The misalignment became more and more obvious, so that the center of gravity was disordered and as precarious as the Leaning Tower of Pisa.
But, the batting is done!
Whoosh!
The tennis ball jumped out lightly. Just as Gao Wen lost his balance and used his hands and feet to support his body to avoid falling, Djokovic also threw his whole body and tried to defend his forehand position at the net. The interception was completed in front of him, and the entire diving-to-the-top posture had also broken away from the constraints of gravity.
In an instant, the entire Arthur Ashe Stadium fell into silence, in a state of astonishment and shock. Everyone stared at the close combat in front of them with their mouths wide open.
Everything is too fast.
Djokovic leaped into the air, his body stretched to the extreme like a dolphin, his racket became an extension of his arm, and he intercepted laterally towards the other side of the net. He saw that the tennis ball was about to break through the blockade and complete the crossing. However, right here, hour--
state.
Djokovic completed an unbelievable and unbelievable conditioned reflex in front of the net. With unparalleled anticipation and incredible flexibility, he actually completed the volley and then hit the tennis ball again.
and!
The most incredible thing is that at this moment, Djokovic showed the world's master-level soft touch control. A light and flexible package not only took away the power of Gawain's full-strength backhand with both hands, but also made it a critical moment. Ji also controlled the tennis ball to return a short diagonal line.
Unbelievable!
Truly incredible!
At the critical moment, in close combat, Djokovic truly showed the top energy of the Big Four, truly forgetting everything and throwing himself out——
Literally.
Then, the breaths of the 25,000 spectators in the stadium and tens of millions of spectators around the world were all cut off, watching the flight trajectory of the tennis ball:
Leap, fall, land.
The mustard yellow tennis ball jumps as lightly as an elf!
